Question

I need to add elements to an ArrayList queue whatever, but when I call the function to add an element, I want it to add the element at the beginning of the arra

Answer 1

I think the implement should be easy, but considering about the efficiency, you should use LinkedList but not ArrayList as the container. You can refer to the following code:

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;

public class DataContainer {

    private List list;

    int length = 10;
    public void addDataToArrayList(int data){
        list.add(0, data);
        if(list.size()>10){
            list.remove(length);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DataContainer comp = new DataContainer();
        comp.list = new LinkedList();

        int cycleCount = 100000000;

        for(int i = 0; i < cycleCount; i ++){
            comp.addDataToArrayList(i);
        }
    }
}
